For the first half of 2017, the export volumes, although growing, but not due to the opening of new markets, but due to the increase in the volume of supplies to Georgia. In the six months of 2017, pork exports in monetary terms increased 3.8 times compared to the same period last year. Revenue from exports as a whole was $ 7.47 million, of which $ 4.81 million was brought to Ukraine by Georgia.
